Can anybody with Quickload tell me....?

I don't have quick load, but I did do some shooting with a .300, and 4350 was what it seemed to prefer for accuracy if not for speed. Your load will give you between 2900 and 3000 fps allowing for the usual quirks that cause rifles that look the same to produce different velocities with the same load. The rifle I used was on the slow side of the scale, and I would get 2900 with that load.
 
Generated using Quickload 3.2.. a little old, but works for me. Your mileage may vary.
